Hi Ali

As per earlier email I am also confirming 1 number rack, Option 2- fitting sanding and polishing for 4 shelves by me.

I may request you to send me a single footer (upon payment, and by courier) to see if it works for my application. If it is then I will want five or seven in all. Would that be possible?

Thanks

George

no problem
you want one now or with the rack ?

 

[GeorgeO]

Sent you a PM.

 

[magma]

i have 2 confirmations by gopi and george
and two othwers by PM

i will wait upto the 26th after which i will go into production

i will not be able to take confirmations after that

 

[RMCWS]

I am very much interested in it and will definitely send my confirmation within 26th, if I finalize buying it (option 2)

Now I have certain questions.

The height of this shelf from the floor to the top is 32-35" and I already have the tv wall mounted at a height of 40" from the floor. That leaves me with a space of 5-8" between the top shelf of the rack and tv.

Initially I was planning to put my centre speaker on top shelf of the rack which is 7.5" in height but it will NOT be possible because I will only get a 5-8" gap between top shelf and TV.

So the top shelf can only be used for keep a stb/ bd player which are 2" and 1.5" in height.

So I have to use one shelf for keeping the centre speaker. Do you think shelf No.4 which is 9" can be used for keeping the 7.5" centre? Will it be stable enough for vibration?

And do you think keeping the centre in lower shelf will effect sound quality?

The avr is 6" and it can be accomodated in shelf 2 and 3.



The rack will have four shelves. For that purpose, the top shelf image has been blurred.

Sir,

I am sorry for 'butting in'
I am not a part of this thread - I am not in the market for a 'Rack / Stand'
However, I want to make a small suggestion - if I may be permitted to ;-

The 'centre' speaker should be @ Ear Level - 30" to 40" from 'ground'
You may not be doing the right thing by placing it 'below'
Ideally, place it on the top most shelf.
Please..

Thanks,

All the Best to All with your AV Rack Build !

VERY BIG CLARIFICATION TO ALL

i have mentioned this earlier and is also there on post 78 where all details lie

the pricing and group buy is for 4 shelves not 5 as pictured above

RMCWS
please edit your picture accordingly by deleting 1 shelf
so shelf no.1 is actaully your topmost shelf - there is no 6inches above that

hence the total height is achived like this

5+1.5+9+1.5+7+1.5+7+1.5 = 34 inch
(where 1.5 is shelf thickness)

if you add footers you get another 1.5 inch at the bottom ( which is the footer thickness)
so with footers you are at approx 36 inch

RMCWS
you can get the rack without footers and load the centre channel on the top shelf

so with footers you are at approx 36 inch

Can it be altered to 5+1.5+7+1.5+7+1.5+9+1.5 = 34 inch

or can the ground clearance of 5" can be reduced, provided every one agrees.

Without footer the top height is 34". Centre speaker height is 7.5". So total height will be 41.5" but my tv is already mounted at 40". So don't think it will be possible to keep centre on the top shelf.

 

[panditji]

Apologies for the delay, but I also confirm for Option 2...

I am ok with the spacing as described by magma as below:

5+1.5+9+1.5+7+1.5+7+1.5 = 34 inch

 

[Shivam]

Keeping a gap from floor is a good idea. Trust me when I say that it is not easy to move the rack when one has to clean the floor under it.

keep your ground clearence 2 inches
solves all problems
so your rack height will be 31


also i dont need to change design ( which in any case is a headache to keep track of - also a differnt dimns increases by risk in maching errors / interpretation by the shop floor operaters

 

[aquarian]

Dear Mr Ali,
I would like to go for option 1 with 5 shelves

Guys

I am a bit surprised at the lukewarm response. It's a good deal to jump on-last two days left. BTW,I have no business connection with Magma!

Great, will deposit the amount latest by Saturday(my son from the US is on a short visit here, and leaves on Fri night). Please email me the bank acct info. Also what time frame are you looking at to ship the stands to us, once the full payment is made? Some rough idea will suffice.
